Love getting lost in the worlds of stories or catching feelings through soulful poetry? Come celebrate the written word with us at the Annual Writopia End-of-Year Reading! Listen to Writopia’s young authors as they read poems and excerpts from their stories. Gain insight into these different writers’ creative process through our own version of an Authors’ Panel, where each young writer will answer questions about how and why they write. We guarantee you a fun time, as well as a front seat to the blooming of the next generation’s great writers! Join us for an afternoon of laughs, tears, and #feels.
